I know my own mind and I am happy with who I am. After a long
marriage that ended in friendship, I now live alone at a house that
it has been a lifelong ambition to own. I can swing in my hammock
watching the birds in complete peace, nice.
I can smell clean air in the mornings and see the sunset in the
evening. The night sky is dark and the stars so very bright. I
appreciate the world around me and feel a sense of wonder at
nature, love to be able to see living things that most people only
see on TV or at the Zoo. I also have a big Malinois for company who
is a complete idiot. I enjoy intelligent conversation and good
company, not looking for a mother figure or another ex if I meet
somebody I get along with soon, great, if not I can wait .
Life is for living and I will have a go at most things, the only
limits we really have are those we impose upon ourselves so there
are few things I won't try..
I dress for any occasion and depending on the circumstances I could
be wearing jeans or a suit, I have a lot of leather jackets in
different styles as I like to wear them. I am not a fan of the
unwashed, I like my showers and I am really put off by stale body
odours. I do a lot of work on my property and get pretty messy
sometimes but I clean up afterwards!!
I'm also quite well travelled, been to lots of places across europe
and indonesia, I do like to soak up new cultures, but I can't see
the point of going to a place and sitting in a bar just like the
one at home, eating the same food etc
I love to see new sights be they buildings, landscapes, people or
wildlife.
I also love strong coffee, I like the occasional glass of a good
wine, not a beer drinker unless its hot, never smoked.

moving forward, new things, new activities, new people. I'm not
someone taken to living in the past on old memories, there is too
much to do and so short a time to do it in. Have a lot of work to
do on my property and I'm gradually getting it done.

Physical things, artistic things and logical things. I can put my
mind and skills to many activities. i love to work with wood to the
extent that I rescue logs from the fire in order to make things
from them. I have an artistic nature but a scientific mind.
Photography, portraits, special moments.

If I watch TV it is either for information on how to do something
or for escapism. I like Sci -fi films and TV Stargate and TNG but
also things that I can learn from like nature or craft docos. I
like most forms of music with a preference for Blues/guitar/rock
but not the crazy heavy metal stuff or anything that sounds like
someone blowing a big horn in a giant shed-thats what it sounds
like when kids have their earplugs turned up too loud on the
train!
Very wide tastes for food, again I love to try things particularly
spicy food. I do actually like to cook but not fancy stuff that
looks like a squirt of paint on a lego block in the middle of a
plate.
I have a lot of photography books, I like portrait work, Hamilton,
Cartier Bresson and Bailey, plus any classic images from the 20s
through to the 60s

The natural world around me, what my next picture will be of, the
people I care about.
I avoid thinking at length on any item or subject which I can do
nothing to influence or change at this time.
I think about long term things and the universe around me.

Usually ready for a change, something to interest the mind and feed
the soul. I have a very active job with a lot of multi-tasking, I
will give just about anything a go.
In the summer maybe the hammock for a while.
One thing I do when at home is make a curry which has become a bit
of a regular item over the years.

You are interested in a quality conversation, think deeply, enjoy
humour and find the world an interesting place. Enjoy visiting new
places and revisiting older places. If you feel that spark of a
kindred spirit and want to know more. You would need to be
physically fit and quite athletic, I can keep up with pretty active
people so I am not a couch potato fan.
